Information icon Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ziad K. Abdelnour. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Also, please stop removing content and references. Your editing gives the appearance of being designed to suppress information unfavourable to Ziad K. Abdelnour, and add promotional links.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you may be blocked from editing. It is clear that your only purpose in editing Wikipedia is to remove certain content from the article Ziad K. Abdelnour from independent sources, including references to reports which are unfavourable to him, such as mentions of a case where he was found to have been acting fraudulently, and to insert content favourable to him, including linking to his own company's web site. Your editing is clearly contrary to Wikipedia's policies on neutral point of view and on promotional editing, and it is pretty certain that you are also in violation of the guidelines on editing with a conflict of interest. Even more importantly, if your editing is part of work for which you receive payment (whether as an employee, a contractor, a business owner, or in any other capacity) then you are in breach of the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use, which would mean that your editing is illegal.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because it is clear that you are not here to contribute to building the encyclopedia. Two different editors have in the past explained to you that promotional editing would be likely to lead to a block, but, although you have not recently made such blatantly spammy edits as you used to, nevertheless you have continued to edit for the sole purpose of improving the image of one person, including removing sourced content unfavourable to him, and replacing reference to relatively neutral sourcing with links to a blog which refers to him in laudatory terms. I am also now aware, which I wasn't when I wrote messages to you before, that the article you have been editing in that way is one of a series of articles on the same subject, repeatedly created, continuing even after a discussion had resulted in a consensus that the person in question should not be the subject of a Wikipedia article, and shifting to a different version of the title after an earlier title had been protected against creation. I have found seven creations of the article, under four versions of the title: there may or may not be more that I have missed. Every one of those articles has been created and/or extensively edited by single purpose accounts whose only purpose on Wikipedia is to promote that person's image. I shall protect the titles which have been used but not yet protected. In case of shifting to yet more versions of the title, I shall take to checking every day for articles about him, by searching article content, not article titles. Re-creations of the article are likely to be deleted immediately, and new accounts which spring up to promote him are likely to be blocked. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
